Practicality and Safety of Electrical Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Appendage Ligation in Lung Transplant Recipients With Pretransplant Atrial Fibrillation

Background. Lung transplant surgery creates surgical pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a routine part of the procedure. However, many patients with pretransplant atrial fibrillation continue to have atrial fibrillation at 1 y. We hypothesized that the addition of electrical PVI and left atrial appen...
